Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .

“1946 willys. tub off restoration. Runs great, good oil pressure. All period correct parts. This is a driver not a show rig. Everything works as it should. The only thing missing is the cable and brake shoes for the E brake. As I restored it I kept all the original parts. I had a lot of fun with it over the past few years but it time to build a street rod and this must go. I also have a state antique title for this”
Looks like a later model 3B.

(08/03/2018) Travis spotted this one. It looks like both sides have seen bodywork.
“1947 Willy’s Jeep in great running condition.
Detailed photos show the vehicle from many angles.
What you see is what you get.
Will be sold “as is” and “where is”.
A great collector’s item!

Could be a good price.

========================
This early Monroe brochure advertises a plow (and pumper unit) specially designed for plowing fire lanes.
